Editorial Review:
After releasing Screaming for Vengeance in 1982, Judas Priest began a creative slide from which they've never recovered. However, if you're going to be remembered for something, it might as well be a record as heavy, incisive, and melodic as Screaming. The disc features the band's biggest hit, "You've Got Another Thing Coming," a sonic inferno that is as hook-laden as it is heavy. But the album also contains uncompromising turbo-blasts such as the title track and the steely "Electric Eye." Throughout, Rob Halford growls and sings in a voice that could at high volumes kill rodents and small dogs, and guitarists K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton unleash their arsenal of inspired and engaging riffs. Classic. The 2001 remastered reissue includes two bonus tracks--a previously unavailable studio extra called "Prisoner of Your Eyes" and a live take on "Devil's Child." --Jon Wiederhorn
Screaming for Vengeance Reviews:
SCREAMING FOR METAL! 
2008-12-05 - I wouldn't go so far as to say this is my favorite Priest album, but "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" is one of my favorite Priest songs! This album as a whole is excellent. It never lets you down from beginning to end. Solid rock all the way through. The bonus track "Prisoner Of Your Eyes" is just as good, if not better, than most of the songs that made the album. The guitar solo alone is worth buying this version of the CD. The album cover is one of my favorites too. If anyone know where I can get a yellow t-shirt with the cover image on the front, please let me know!
Other albums I bought that sound like this are: Sloopjohnd , Point of Entry and Shout at the Devil
One of the best hard rock/metal albums of the 1980's! 
2008-11-25 - I still play this one all the time. Been a Priest fan since about the time SFV came out. I have nearly their entire catalog, and this is the best in my opinion. To me there are no fillers, and every song is great.
I have an older cd without the extra tracks and re-mastering. The sound quality is wonderful. The songs are very strong. From the opening track to the final "I believe I can't stand it any more" from Devil's Child an awesome Judas Priest album. Powerful and solid bass work and superb drumming lay a super strong foundation for Glenn and K.K. to trade off
great solos. And this one is chock-full of perfect solos! And Rob as usual
displays the wares of maybe the greatest metal singer of that era.
I know it's kinda cliche', but if you get only one Judas Priest album this should be the one. Thanks for checking out my opinion.
Screaming For Vengeance
2008-11-03 - Judas Priest-Screaming For Vengeance *****
It wasn't long after Screaming For Vengeance that the Priest slid into a world of pop-laden 1980's hair metal-Esq albums (minus the hair of course), but Screaming For Vengeance was one hell of a way to go out. One of the metal, metal albums of the decade. No thrash, death, or gore here just pure metal. More than that it is regarded as one of the defining metal albums of all time.
Glen Tipton and K.K. Downing prove once again that they bring the strongest guitar arsenal in metal (or at least they did back in the day) with solo's from other worlds and riffs to rival that of anyone. The man, the voice of metal, Rob Halford tares the walls down with his glass shattering pipes through out.
'The Hellion/Electric Eye' open the album and are among the greatest recordings in metal history. A true powerhouse and easily the best on the album. 'Take These Chains' is almost power metal but saves itself because than you realize it is Judas after all and they wouldn't dare. 'Pain And Pleasure' feels like the only misstep because of the production but even it is enjoyable. The title track is among Halfords greatest moments as a vocalist. It is also one of the hardest, heaviest, and all around most powerful tracks in JP history. 'You've Got Another Thing Coming' was and still is their biggest hit single, and for good reason; it is one of the all time greatest tunes in metal.
Screaming For Vengeance is prime Judas Priest. Some of their greatest work can be found here. Not only is it a nice place to start when entering the realm of Priest but also when entering metal in general. It's a classic and an essential Judas album.
Classic Priest 
2008-10-23 - This is one of the group's only 80s efforts to come close to matching their 70s period. Some of the tracks are still played in the live concert set list t oday, while about the rest of the other half of the album is filler. I would recommend it, it is a cool album.
Plays like a best of Priest album
2008-09-29 - I'll keep this short and sweet, this album is the best of Judas Preist peroid. Can I also mention this is possibly and of course argubly the best heavy metal album of all time. This should be mentioned in the same breathe as any Ozzy and Sabbath album, any Maiden album, and Master of Puppets as well. Legendary band at their best.....
